Excerpt from The Partition of Africa The activities of the editor of this volume have been confined to the following lines: the excision or condensation of such passages as are, for various reasons, Of less value to the general reader; the tempering of the admittedly chauvinistic attitude and bias charac teristic of the book; the substitution Of more recent figures, and the addition of certain details in the main body of the text, and bibliography; and finally the interpolation of a chapter (xviii) which attempts to summarize in an impartial manner the main events which have taken place since the author printed his second edition, in 1895. The author, though cognizant of the present undertaking, is in no way responsible for such omissions or additions as have been made with a view to adapting his volume to the use of the general American public.

The conditions of African development have called into action variations of human activity, individual and governmental, Of the most picturesque nature. Africa is no longer the Dark Continent, knowledge of which is regarded as a sort of interesting specialty - it is time that every reasonably educated man should be conversant with the main facts Of its history if he is to be fitted to hold an Opinion regarding the status and future of one of humanity's greatest and most momentous enterprises.
